There are many ruthless bosses living in my territory

Uchiha Madara looked at the snow around him and recalled Konoha's first winter.

It was snowing heavily at that time, and Konoha was buried in the snow.

"Let's go. If we move fast enough, we may be able to reach White Moon City in less than a week."

Liszt led everyone on horseback across the snowfield, and occasionally they could see groups of jackals hunting in the snow.

The horses they rode were perfectly prepared, with warm and windproof cloth and horseshoes to protect their hooves.

Even if these horses were loaded with baggage, the gnolls would not be able to catch up with them.

After galloping for several hours, Lister and others prepared to stop and rest.

"There's a snow rabbit!"

Liszt raised his hands and the spiritual bow appeared in his palms.

Then he felt a sharp gaze.

Uchiha Madara was staring at the spirit bow in his hand, which made him feel a little creepy.

······

Water Style: Heaven's Cry!

Lister spit out water needles from his mouth. In the low temperature environment, the water needles turned into ice needles, which accurately pierced the snow rabbit's head.

That's right.

Ninjutsu is more powerful than ghost arts!

Lister decided to take care of Madara-sama's desire to win.

At this time, Reina had already picked up the snow rabbit, so there would be more rabbit meat for today's lunch.

The four of them found a cave and picked up firewood. Then Lister instructed Elsa to use chakra and ignite the firewood with fire escape.

Madara nodded again.

In fact, Lister really wanted Madara to perform the Wood Release: Four Pillars of the Family Technique, but he couldn't say it out loud.

With Elsa's presence, the lunch was simple but tasted very good, and Madara also ate a big bowl.

In order to let the horses rest fully, everyone had to stay for a while, so...

The four of them sat around the fire in silence.

Oops!

Because Reina, Erza and Madara are not familiar with each other, and Madara is a proud person who will not take the initiative to talk, the current atmosphere is frozen.

No! This can't go on!

"Cough cough cough."

Liszt looked at Uchiha Madara with a head full of white hair and said.

"How about we continue the topic we talked about last time?"

"On the topic of achieving peace? Sure."

Ban didn't care. He asked this question in the first place in order to understand Lister's thoughts and observe what kind of person he was. He never expected the other party to give him a solution.

It’s totally fine to go deeper into the topic now to pass the time.

"Mr. Madara, if we are simply talking about peace without war, I think I can start with an example."

"My own country, the United States."

United States?

This was the first time that Ban heard this term.

"Well, the United States means a federal state, a unified country formed by the union of many countries or forces."

"I'm going to talk about the United States of Ahmora, which is also the federation that my Kingdom of Rennes has joined."

"This federation was founded four thousand years ago, and there has never been a major war since its founding."

“It’s very peaceful, so to speak.”

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara immediately focused and listened.

Being able to maintain peace for such a long time is definitely worth referring to!

Chapter 20: Four Thousand Years of Peace in the United States (Part )

Uchiha Madara's goal has always been to achieve absolute peace, which is the justice he has always pursued.

It’s just that people of the Uchiha family have always liked to go to extremes and they like solutions that show results quickly.

So when Madara saw the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a method that worked as soon as it was used, he immediately fell in love with it and resolutely embarked on this path without much consideration.

Now, because of Aizen's words, Madara had some doubts about the effectiveness of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Now that he heard that a country in the other world had achieved the long-lasting peace he had always dreamed of, he naturally wanted to know more.

Seeing that Ban's curiosity was aroused, Liszt smiled and didn't keep him in suspense.

"These are the records I saw in the history books of the United States."

"About 7000 years ago, many countries were concentrated in the center of the continent and attacked each other for resources."

"At that time, in addition to the human empire, there were also the empires of orcs and elves."

"One day, humans discovered methods to cultivate blood, holy light, and arcane arts. Gradually, the human empire annexed other empires and became a unified country."

"Then, because of a great war, the human empire split into twelve empires."

"The twelve empires are constantly at war with each other, and hatred is beginning to spread. To protect their country and for revenge, everyone is drawn into the bloody war. Even foreign races such as elves and orcs are beginning to gain strength."

Madara was not surprised to hear these words. Isn't that how the ninja world is?

In all things in the world, where there is light, there must be shadow. If there is a concept of winner, there must also be a loser. If you have such selfish thoughts as maintaining peace, you will start a war.

If you want to protect, love will inevitably give rise to hatred. There is a causal relationship between them that cannot be separated. This is reality...

It took him most of his life to understand this truth through personal experience or observation.

He once had the idea of ​​understanding others, but even if hearts are connected, only people can understand each other and ultimately they cannot understand each other.

Madara put aside his distracting thoughts and asked.

"How did peace come about after that? Was peace achieved simply by forming the United States?"

"of course not."

Liszt shook his head.

"Three people emerged in this situation. They are the founders of the three major holy places today."

"The first is the first great sage of Tallinn, the second is the first pope of the temple, and the third is the first president of the parliament."

"They used their absolute power to cripple all twelve empires at the time."

Oh? Uchiha Madara was a little excited.

"They established this so-called United States again?"

"Yes."

Liszt said calmly.

"According to the books, the president of the parliament brought together the emperors of the twelve empires to form the Imperial Parliament."

"The Great Sage of Tallin brought together all the mages who used arcane magic and formed Tallin the Mage."

"And the Pope of the Temple built churches all over the United States and vigorously promoted the teachings of the Holy Light."

"In the next ten years, the twelve empires were divided into one hundred and eight kingdoms, and the parliament established extremely strict laws and class systems."

"The emperor has his own etiquette and rules to follow, the king has his own etiquette and rules to follow, the nobles have their own etiquette and rules to follow, and the common people have their own etiquette and rules to follow..."

"Simply put, people from each class must do what they are supposed to do, and people cannot marry across classes."

"Royalty can only marry royalty, royal family can only marry royal family, nobles can only marry nobles, and commoners can only marry commoners."

"In short, all matters, big and small, are set in stone. No one can go beyond the rules. If you do, you will be severely punished, even the emperor is no exception."

Madara frowned in thought.

"Won't this cause civil unrest?"

"If that's all, then it's likely to happen."

There was no change in Liszt's tone.

"The three holy places are closely connected. Thanks to their joint efforts, a large-scale war has not broken out in the United States of Ahmora."

"The Great Sage of Tallin gathered all the mages under the pretext of studying arcane magic and imprisoned them in Tallin. They were not allowed to leave without permission, and all the knowledge books were collected by them, thus monopolizing knowledge."

"The pope of the temple sent paladins to destroy the orc shamans, elf druids and other sects, leaving only the Church of Holy Light. He then relied on churches in various places to spread the faith of Holy Light and monopolized the faith with the support of the law."

"In addition, the Imperial Council, which represents the supreme power of mankind, decides all laws and controls the strongest army, so the Council monopolizes war."

"The three holy places monopolize knowledge, faith, and war respectively."

"All the power is concentrated in the three holy places, and they have the foundation for invincibility."

At this time, Lister looked at Madara and asked back.

"Mr. Madara, where do you think power comes from?"

Ban said loudly: "Power!"

“It’s an explanation.”

Liszt smiled and then asked.

"Mr. Madara, what do you think is the key to maintaining a country's rule and preventing it from collapsing?"

Madara originally wanted to answer about strength, but Lister's answer might not be this.

Seeing that Ban didn't answer, Liszt asked and answered himself.

"I think it is order, a stable order where people from all walks of life can benefit."

"Mr. Madara, how big is the ninja world to you."

Madara answered without hesitation.

"It's too small, barely big enough for me to handle alone."

Lister was not surprised. When he was watching Naruto, he was very excited when he heard Madara's domineering declaration.

"Then let me tell you how big the United States of Ahmora is."

"According to the records of an ascetic priest one hundred years ago, he started from the edge of the United States and measured the land with his feet along the way to the temple in the center of the United States."

"This process took him ten years."

"Although he encountered many accidents during the period that caused him to stay in the same place for a while, this is enough to show how vast the territory of the United States is."

"In this world where information is mainly transmitted through post stations and countries are like isolated islands, it is the extremely strict order set by the parliament that benefits the vast majority of classes that maintains the foundation of rule."

"For their own benefit, the nobles and the king will maintain order on their own initiative. Even the three holy places do not need to send troops to maintain rule. They only need to send people to check on the situation regularly."

"Plus, the Temple has spent countless hours disciplining people's cognition and thoughts. Everyone believes that today's society is correct, so no one will break the rules and order."

"Of course, they have not thought about the unexpected. After all, no set of rules can last forever, and the current laws and etiquette have been revised hundreds of times."

"The holy land's trump card is actually a super-large magic circle."

Lister explained.

"The sages of Tallinn are able to utilize magic arrays in various places. Even if the burden of ultra-long-distance transmission on the human body is taken into account, the three holy places can still allow their armies to quickly reach the border in just--"

"Three days!"

Madara was shocked. Teleporting the army directly to a designated location over a long distance was indeed a huge deterrent.

If the ninja world also has this technology, wouldn't it be better to just raid the rear of the ninja village?

"Liszt."

Ok?

Lister, who was just happy for surprising Madara, looked at Madara in confusion.
